Board adopts USDB access-control, ear-mold and administrative policy changes

Chair Wood presented the committee recommendations and put motions for several USDB policies on the board floor. The motion "that the board approve the access control and classroom security policy draft 2 on 2nd and final reading" passed by roll call; Member Boggess recorded a "Yes" as part of the tally and the chair announced the motion "passes unanimously with 1 absent."

The board quickly followed with votes on USDB policy 8.25 ("ear mold") and the repeal of USDB policy 1.02 (Administration & Leadership). Member Boggess and others participated in roll-call voting and both items passed on second and final readings. The chair closed the USDB portion of the meeting by thanking presenters and staff. The approvals move these policy changes into effect under the board's schedule for USDB rule and policy implementation.
